Securing funding today requires more than product innovation or early traction; investors now evaluate how well a startup understands and manages real operational risk. Business insurance for startups is one of the main elements that has to be in place before a company can be considered for funding. How a company is covered shows it manages risks related to its legal liability, compliance requirements, cyber threats, contractual obligations, and continuity planning, among other things that have a great impact on the company’s valuation and investor confidence. A well-thought-out insurance portfolio for the company shows that the company is well-governed, speeds up the due diligence process, and makes investors feel secure that their money won’t be lost as a result of incidents that could have easily been avoided.
